supervent, do piracy w What are the best alternatives to The Pirate Bay in 2023?

For me it’s fine for tv shows & movies. I also use ed2k/kad network.

OverfedRaccoon,

Wow, ed2k is still alive and kicking? I don’t think I’ve used them since like 2005.

supervent,

Yeah, it works like a charm, by the way I use Mldonkey, but you have also emule & amule.

Warframe. Took a break for a year or 2 and I got hooked back in

people_are_cute, do piracy w Which cracks and repacs works best on linux?
@people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Who cracked or repacked it doesn’t make a difference, how much the game itself supports Linux does.

Idk I usually have problem with fitgirl repacs so maybe for Linux are better alternatives

@yote_zip@pawb.social avatar

In my experience DODI installers tend to work slightly better than Fitgirl’s on Linux, but keep in mind that different games are compressed with different tools, and some of those tools inherently work better on Linux/Wine than others. The standard Ubisoft compression tool (more accurately it’s called a precompressor) has given me a lot of trouble on Linux, and every repacker is going to be using that same tool. Grabbing clean files and applying a crack yourself is always going to be the most compatible way.

If you don’t have bandwidth or storage restrictions, I’ll always recommend you pull directly from a scene release or a clean steam dump instead of a repack.

I’ve often been having issues with FitGirl as well. Dodi repacks have always worked for me though.

EquipLordBritish, do gaming w What's your favorite example of developer's foresight?

Funny that they thought of that, but then slipped up that you could become archmage before you have to ask the archmage for help. But there’s no dialogue for the quest if you are the archmage. So if you progress in the wrong order, you get stuck in the main quest.

They may have fixed it since, but that was a huge error.

The Stanley Parable, the whole game.

baduhai, do piracy w With PLEX blocking Hetzner Hosting, I'm thinking of Moving to Jellyfin, but I have some questions.

Jellyfin is unable to do that. Your jellyfin instance is YOURS, there is no man in the middle like with Plex.

sam, do games w PSA: If you still have a Mojang account for Minecraft: Java Edition, you have less than a week left to migrate to a Microsoft account to avoid profile deletion
@sam@lemmy.ca avatar

So when do I get my refund?

gabe, (edited )

Never. Microsoft says fuck you.

I will say it sounds like a lovely lawsuit waiting to happen though, especially in countries with good consumer protections. I wonder how Canadian law would feel about this? 🤔

xkforce, (edited )

Microsoft is a trillion dollar company. Unfortunately I doubt any country is going to meaningfully harm them over accounts like this. (I am one of the people that cant migrate because the email I had associated with it is gone and the game was gifted to me so long ago that I wouldn’t be able to easily prove it was mine)

gabe,

You’d be surprised, EU fines and consequences to shitty anti-consumer actions like this are built to hurt. There’s a reason why the new iPhone has USB-C, and it’s not out of the kindness of their heart.

SSUPII,

Apple is building proprietary USB-C cables that the iPhone will extremely prefer. So absolutely not for kindnes

Pxtl,
@Pxtl@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes, but in this case? The users are being migrated to a new authentication account and have been notified for many years that they needed to move over - it’s been like 5 years, right? The servers are staying up. And if you’ve got a Mojang account, any possibility of this still being under even the most generous warranty is long gone.

If you want to participate in a community where you control the software, you should be getting into open-source games. Minetest is great! It has a better modding system than Java edition! But ultimately, if you’re playing commercial games, you have to deal with a reality that the company owns it and there’s no guarantee what will happen to their servers after the warranty is expired.

Wogi,

I paid like, 10 dollars what’s gotta be 15 years ago now.

Like if there’s a class action lawsuit over this I wouldn’t turn down the settlement but I’m not losing any sleep over it

Anticorp, (edited )

Some of us paid $39. :(

Edit: I think that’s what it cost. It was awhile ago, but it wasn’t cheap.

Iceblade02,

Of note is that if you purchased the game before ~2012, the user agreement had no clause regarding them being able to change it willy-nilly.

kmkz_ninja,

I mean, I paid like 8 bucks for the game (or however much it was in the indev version) but it’s still shitty and arbitrary.

FlembleFabber, do piracy w What are the best alternatives to The Pirate Bay in 2023?

I use 1337x and torrentgalaxy, rutracker for music is nice

pewgar_seemsimandroid, do piracy w Is It Farewell To The Internet Archive?

pirating doesn’t do much instead hack them or ddos

cmysmiaczxotoy, do piracy w With PLEX blocking Hetzner Hosting, I'm thinking of Moving to Jellyfin, but I have some questions.

Jellyfin can’t block media. The connections are direct. Jellyfin db performance is noticeably slower than plex with 500k media items but it can still handle it

toxictenement, do piracy w What torrents should I seed for yarrr
@toxictenement@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Search for DVDRip, filter by upload date and check for ones that aren’t well seeded. See if you can find ones that don’t have any other rips available, and seed whatever looks at-risk. Godspeed!

22rw, do piracy w [Request] Remove ads from Duolingo?

Revanced has a premium patch for duolingo: revanced.app/patches?s=duolingo

can, (edited )

Oh wow, thank you. Do I need to download an older version of the app? It’s telling me Duolingo is not installed.

Edit: tried downloading from apkmirror

https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/6d642995-775b-4009-be37-ee28c60aeaf2.webp

Do I need to be rooted or can I find another download source?

mustbe3to20signs,

You need to grab the Duolingo APK from a source like APKpure or APKMirror and patch this file.
This is because the installed Duolingo app consists of multiple (split-)APKs.

can, (edited )

The download from apk mirror appears split as well? Maybe I downloaded the wrong one.

Edit there were two version. The patch is broken atm anyway.

ililiililiililiilili,

It appears you’re attempting to patch the installed app. Download the APK and patch that file. Then install the modded APK.

You can download APK here: apkmirror.com/…/duolingo-duolingo-5-120-3-release…

can, (edited )

I think that worked. I had downloaded the split one before. Am I safe to use my existing account?

Spoke too soon. I think the patch is broken. Thank you though.

22rw,

Just created a duolingo account myself to check, the patch is indeed broken :/

did you find any alternative?

can,

Haven’t tried it yet but it’s starting to look like I should open a French school.

22rw,

haha well good luck then, should be the most secure option out there :D

@Xirup@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

What the heck, I had no idea that Revanced had the ability to patch apps other than Youtube! Thank you for saying so.

Grr_Im_a_Bear,

Thanks for this. Not sure how to save posts so I'm commenting instead.

can,

What app are you using?

ByteWizard,

Hit the three dots, then the star icon to save a post.

ClemaX,

Is yours working? Just tried it and apparently the patch prevents you from logging in. If it does, which version are you using?

22rw,

no version i tried worked so far, it seems the patch is broken for every version.

Hopefully someone will update the patch in the future
